A new approach to sustainable project scheduling for public institutions is proposed. The approach is based on experts’ opinions on three aspects of sustainability of project activities (human resources consumption, material consumption and negative influence on local communities), expressed by means of Z-fuzzy numbers. A fuzzy bicriterial optimization model is proposed, whose objective is to obtain a project schedule of an acceptable sustainability degree and of acceptable duration and cost. The model was inspired and is illustrated by a real-world infrastructure project, implemented in 2019 by a public institution in Poland.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
